Today, the Group continues to lead the way with product assembly reviews in the industrial metaverse. ESI Group is committed to shaping a better future by harnessing the power of technology to push boundaries and drive progress.

A new Branding and a Celebration Year

ESI Group's rebranding efforts encompass several exciting updates, including a new brand statement. The brand statement "Get it right" reflects what ESI stands for in the hearts and minds of all stakeholders, while the new brand purpose statement, "ESI. Innovation without compromise," highlights their commitment to innovation.

In terms of visual identity, ESI has adopted bold and appealing brand colors that reflect its scientific approach. The primary color, orange, represents brilliance, passion, and courage, making it both eye-catching and distinctive. Secondary colors have been carefully selected to convey technical precision, solidity, and friendliness. One color will be used per industry to make communication more accessible and understandable.

In addition to the new brand identity, ESI Group is celebrating its 50 years of innovation, collaboration, and transformation with a year-long brand campaign.
